Pernell Whitaker Or Manny Pacquiao -?

PFP I voted for Manny since he came up from a much lower weight. Head to head, however, I pick Pernell to outbox him for a decision win.

 

I disagree. Pea went up weight as well and actually fought alot more impressive boxers.
He fought Pineda at jr.welter who was a good puncher.
Oscar at 147 along with Buddy who was a vert accomplished champion. Fought Chavez as well.

Went up and beat Vasquez at 54 the same Vasquez who beat Winky.
And Pea was only 5'6.

Pea had alot more dominate wins against better fighters.
I'm not sure Manny beats Buddy at 47 and I know he wouldn't beat Vasquez at 54.

 

Not sure what is being asked. Whitaker might have been better at 135 than Manny ever was at 126-140.

But Manny’s resume is head and shoulders above Whitaker and Whitaker shouldn’t even be spoken of next to Manny in terms of resume.

 

Just how I see it.

 

If they were both at their best, I’d expect Whitaker to win. His window was a lot smaller than Manny’s though, so Manny might win if they shared an era and Whitaker was 30+

 

Whitaker, it would be a battle vs Pacquiao, but Pernell could do it.

 

Manny is the greater fighter but would lose head to head

 

How do you come to that conclusion?

 

Could see that. Think careers were almost the same- Pea won titles all the way up to jr.middle.
Think the major difference is Pea never enjoyed the popularity that Manny was able to have.
The crazy thing is that Pea never lost in his prime unless you want to count the Rameriz fight which was a pretty bad decision.

 

Pacquiao is greater. Whitaker is better H2H

 

PacMan didn't do too well against Mayweather who was known as a great defensive fighter. So if Floyd gave him trouble, Whitaker would run circles around him.
